Argentine was the last known attendant of the Princes in the Tower; he noted that Edward took daily confession and penance, believing that his death was near.[note 1] Argentine's evidence was also the basis for French declarations that the Princes in the Tower of London had been murdered and their assassin crowned as King Richard III.
Later he became physician to Prince Arthur. He ended his life as Provost of King's College, Cambridge and is buried there in the Chantry Chapel.

Notesedit
^The original Latin wording "Argentinus medicus" has been alternatively translated as "a Strasbourg doctor", Argentoratum being the Latin name for Strasbourg, but more likely refers to Argentine.[2][3] The suggestion that Argentine himself was a Strasbourg doctor is a misidentification,[3] and Anthony Allen connected the Argentine family name to an unrelated location in Normandy.[4]
